BREAKING: Muslim Leaders Decide Against Ground Zero Mosque
The Right Sphere ^ | 8/16/10 | Brandon Kiser

Posted on 08/16/2010 1:32:09 PM PDT by peggybac

fter weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.

New York Governor David Patterson said last weekend that Muslim leaders had rejected outright his proposal to swap the site in for another in Manhattan.

“Campaigning starts rolling real good in less than a month. I think this might be fresh enough. :)”

...I hope that you’re right...my fear is that Obama’s endorsement of the mosque will be forgotten by the independants.

Bullcrap.

Islam requires that they lie to the infidel.

The infidel is the USA.

Obama is a muslim.

Connect the dots.

Good news, if accurate, but as a PR stunt, no. Too late.

And Barack Obama is the most powerful insider they’ve ever had. So when they see his political career imploding, maybe they step in and try to take some of the pressure off.

They already got what they wanted anyway: a statement by the President from the White House.

Or temporary, to help out Obama and the Democrats until after the election?

Maybe they realized the cost of insuring the place wouldn’t be worth it.

This story is bogus.

The developers of so-called “Park51” are denying any change of plans.

They have announced they’re planning to build it, and calling the Haaretz story bogus.

Christopher Logan just posted this:

“Park51 Official: Reports by Haaretz are completely false. We are committed to plans of building Park 51 to serve the community of Lower Manhattan.
via Twitter”

Sadly.

(they cannot resist some Jew bashing in their tweets)

On a side note, if Haaretz likes publishing fables, perhaps they could go back to the Yiddish ones with parables #welikethosebetter 34 minutes ago via web Retweeted by 9 people

I don’t think they really expected the backlash to be that great. They were hoping to push it through without too much fanfair. Since everyone was all over this they knew that every crevice would be investigated. They don’t want to blow their cover yet. However, it might just be too late already.

... until after November 2. Then they will suddenly reverse themselves and demand to build at Ground Zero.

Internal battle within Zero’s admin.

How did Israeli newspaper get the inside info? Why is the Muslim developer denying it?
